We rented for short periods then bought a small villa, waited for other house to sell and finally moved to a bigger one. Most of us know when you walk into a house what you like and don't like right away so, what is different about The Villages as there is so much choice. Many answers are in posts above. We found that LSL, Spanish Springs and Brownwood became places we visited less over time. Getting around, in and out of The Villages important hence location. Rec centers are everywhere. If we had to do it again, we wouldn't move so much furniture, just the basics and long-distance moving is very expensive. Moving around her is very, very inexpensive and there are people even to help you put things away, also reasonable, soi if you pick the house you love and have a nasty neighbor, moving is a viable option. Deals come up all the time. If a fantastic deal comes up be ready to pounce and not tied up in a yearly lease. A storage unit is a good choice.
The Villages is not perfect but as you look around, it's way better any over 55 place we have ever found. Here it is less about the house and more about the people enjoying themselves and all the things The Villages haveset in place. People in Mulberry say "Don't tell too many but we have the very best location here! All the way down to Fenny you will hear something similar. In short, they are saying despite a few pluses and minuses, they are happy here. Figure out your price range, spend as little long distance costs as you can, store until ready to pounce, rent short term, are all good options. Welcome, you will love it here.
